The question: \u201cWhat can you do in the new Battlefield game?\u201d is usually best answered with a slew of YouTube clips \u2013 endless variations of death by wingsuit, or C4-strapped jeeps veering into mobs of unsuspecting foot soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevertheless, in this blog, we\u2019re going to do our best to inform you of some cunning carnage and deft tricks to put you ahead of your competition. The game itself systematically rewards those willing to test their limits and get creative \u2013 to saddle-up on falling bombs (Strangelove style). Now, the chaos-scape has been enlarged and enhanced, every action is a risk. There\u2019s no way to cheat, but certain methods and tactics can be employed to attract moments of sheer genius and redefine what\u2019s possible on this digital canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the kinds of dirty tricks war committees are built to detect. In Battlefield 2042 \u2013 out now on PlayStation, Xbox and PC \u2013 you can change the rules and enter into the most epic battles yet with an anarchic flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The happy, debris-showered saga of EA and Dice continues\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the annals of incredible kills, this one will likely appear quite frequently. First up, you\u2019ll need to use the Casper Perk to summon an OV-P Recon Drone. Go ahead and plant a few pliable C5 explosives on that drone and then fly the payload headlong into the nearest enemy tank. Kaboom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next up, if you\u2019re hunkered down in an especially hairy bit of skyscraper combat \u2013 let\u2019s say you\u2019re caught on the rooftop with enemy helicopters bearing down on you from all sides \u2013 it\u2019s time to break out the all-purpose EBAA Wildcat. Parachute that armoured bad boy in overhead and hop in when it lands. Then pretend you\u2019re at the controls of a TIE fighter, swivel the turret and lock on to your helo-foes with the anti-aircraft gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For our next trick, we\u2019re turning to the Dark Arts of levelling up and ripping those \u2018newb\u2019 stickers off your uniform as speedily as possible. The best way to get to grips with this new theatre of war is to battle it out repeatedly against waves of bots. Steer clear of the Battlefield Portal\u2019s heady mania and secretly unlock various Weapons and Classes, honing your use of automatic turrets and getting to know the intricacies of each Operator (take Boris, for example, who is supposedly an assault operator, but is actually way more effective as the Sniper Class).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the more obvious ways to die in Battlefield 2042 is to run out of ammo. And, of course, the last thing you want is for a sitting duck to finally emerge in front of you, while all you can do is start dry firing and cursing yourself from a distance. To counter this blunder, attach more than one magazine to your weapon\u2019s Plus Menus and switch ammo types when your clip drains to zero. This way you can avoid scrounging ammo from other teammates, or fumbling over the scraps left behind by fallen players. Instead, simply switch up and stay in the fight for longer. Just remember that different ammo types have varying characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one is straight out of an early James Bond film and a definite \u2018must-try\u2019, so long as you can withstand the buggy UI for vehicle call-ins. There are all kinds of vehicles and UAVs available for heavy, last-minute assistance in the game, from Robot Dogs to Tanks. The LCAA Hovercraft is undoubtedly one of our favourites. Not only can this buoyant beast skitter over water, but there\u2019s also a bug that exists in the game (at least at the time of writing this), which allows you to fly up and climb vertical walls and buildings at high speeds. Snatch the advantage while you can \u2013 right now, it\u2019s best used in Hourglass and makes for some very creative vehicular play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There you have it! We hope these dastardly tricks serve you well in the heat of the fray. Battlefield 2042 is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox, Xbox One and PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
